If you'd like to apply to Snowblind and would like to test the waters first or get a sample set up for your application, this meme is for you! We've even provided some prompts for you to use if you want (but feel free to make up your own). Here's how it works.
✭ Reply to this entry with a character you're considering apping into the game. You can include the name of your character and the fandom in your subject line. ✭ Comment around to others on the meme, whether you're in the game already or not. ✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application! ✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open. ✭ Seriously, do it.
Network Prompts
ONE: HUNTING SEASON You wake up in the morning to find that a new application has appeared on your tablet. It's labelled "SCAVENGER HUNT" and when you open it, you find a long list of items that, if the title is anything to go by, need to be collected. At first, the items seem rather innocuous; things like bottle caps, napkins, Scotch tape, mittens. As the list continues, though, the items become a little more interesting. Where are you going to find "one pint of type O- blood"? How does one collect a "cry for mercy"? Does the "human sacrifice" need to be human? Most importantly, what are you supposed to do with these items once you've collected them all?
Maybe you should check your list with the Network. Some folks might be willing to pool resources.
TWO: ONE, TWO, SKIP A FEW Sometime yesterday, you noticed that a timer placed itself on the Network. Contacting the Admin about it provided no explanation, of course, and nobody's tablet buddy seems to have any answers. It started from zero and began counting upwards, seconds ticking away like lightning, but nothing was happening, so there was nothing to be done. Suddenly, however, you can't help but notice the count stutter and jump upwards to 99 hours in. And then, at 100, it stops and vanishes. As far as you can tell, nothing's changed, but it's disconcerting enough that you can't get it off your mind. Maybe someone else on the Network has some theories.
Action Prompts
THREE: WHAT WE DO WITH THE SHADOWS You and your companion decided that, for whatever reason, this house was worth investigating. It took something unorthodox—like moving all the furniture to one place, illuminating certain segments of the room, reciting a message, or maybe something else—but by doing it, it seems you've invited another guest. It's a shadowy figure with no face and no discernible limbs, and it goes wherever you go, lingering behind you just so that you can only ever see it out of your peripheral vision. Your companion can see it well enough, though, and sometimes it follows them instead. It doesn't seem to be hostile, but can you know that for sure? Either way, lockdown has already fallen, and you're stuck with it through the night.
FOUR: WHO LET THE DOGS OUT? You’ve just gotten comfortable for the night with your traveling companion when something odd happens. You hear an animal. A dog? A cat? A bird? Maybe the sound is coming from outside, or in the other room. Maybe you feel it brush or flutter past you without anything being there. Or maybe you even see it…just out of the corner of your eye, as it darts around a corner. You feel like maybe it’s trying to alert you to something, somehow. Or maybe you just really want to see if you can coax it out. Careful, though, get too close too quickly and you may aggravate it. As phantom as the animal may seem, the claw marks you receive for your trouble feel very real.

"Sinner" by whose standards? You must admit that's a rather broad label.
no subject
That's a valid question. A lot of these are pretty subjective. A "seasoned warrior" certainly changes by definition when you put perspective into it.
A kid mimicking the Karate Kid is going to look like a fucking badass to a toddler, for example.
Maybe the Admin is just fucking with us all. Wants to see how willing we are to destroy each other out of fear of what may come if we don't, or out of the need to win.
So, how far along are you?
no subject
He considers his tablet with his resting goat face (a solemn frown) as he again takes a moment to decipher what's on the screen. It's easier this time — fewer alien terms to get tripped up by. Maybe he should start a list, and work on defining them one by one?]
I wouldn't be surprised. Desperate times often lead to desperate actions. An easy enough weakness to exploit.
I haven't been given a good enough reason to participate. [If a justification exists out there for, say, knocking all the teeth out of someone's mouth for the sake of stringing them into a necklace, it needs to be a lot better than what ADMIN has ponied up.] But even if I wanted to, the odds are low that I could complete my list. Some of these items are a complete mystery to me.
no subject
Oh yeah?
I might be able to help you with these mysteries.
I know there's quite a few people who aren't exactly from a more modern time after all, where as I'm a bit more familiar with, well, a lot of shit.

Any help that you could give would be appreciated.
